Current gen disappointments?

Wasthere any games you were looking forward to that disappointed you in the log run?

Here's my list:

Silent Hill Homecoming: plot was way to predictable for a SH title,didn't really ave that SH feeling to it.

Army of Two: horrible A.I, story and mediocre cover system

Silent Hill Origins: way to short even for a SH game, awful camera system, gameplay wasn't a huge improvement over past SH games (decent plat though)

Infinite Undiscovery: Too many characters, lame story,way to short for a RPG

The Last Remnant: Talk about one huge broken mess, gamplay that you watch, horrible loading (PS3 owners you are lucky it did not come out on the PS3)

To a certain extent: I enjoy these titles

Prince of Persia 2008:Great story but the gameplay felt like is on auto-pilot often times.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Great improvement in the gameplay department but the story sucks compared to MGS2,3 and 1. (Yea I said it I still enjoyed the game but the story was lacking)

Lost Odyssey: Great cast of characters especially Jensen, story falls flat on its face after the first disc and the main villain was horrible

Blue Dragon: Good classic turn based gameplay but the story and characters suck IMO

Valkyria Chronicles: gameplay is really unbalanced stat wise

Soul Calibur 4: Horrible arcade mode and online was pretty laggy

Resident Evil 5: I was excepting a survival horror game, or at least an improvement over RE5, awful A.I partner (at least the replay value was great)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Gears of War 2 by far.

Ya Resistance 2 because it didn't have co-op story mode like the first one did.

Turok, Tales of Vesperia, and GTA 4.

The 360 taking Lost Planet 2. The 360 in general.

I fully support Sony. I own all systems and Im proud to be a fanboy for my console of choice.

Uncharted and UFC 2009

Most underrated game ever is sacred 2

- Assassins Creed

- Oblivion

- Haze

Honestly no, I don't buy any video games that disappoint me.

Far Cry 2 and Killzone 2.

so remake, that donkey konga game and pikmin are this gen, and explain what ''stuff'' because the only differences in the wii version are the controls, the game is mirrored and the game is blurry(and yes i have played it and beat it on both the gc and wii).

quantum of solace ps2 ps3 360 versions only. due to the very lack of multiplayer think ps1 , the world is not enough or tnd some good comparisions,

gta iv ,, less feature then san andreas saints row 2 or driver 4

The epitome of disappointment this generation, in my eyes.

Grand Theft Auto IV- I think this game is good. Maybe even great (it did have some FANTASTIC moments, like Three Leaf Clover). The city is a technical marvel, and for the most part I think the voice acting and overall production is good. But after reading everything about how the game supposedly had such an amazing story and great variety of things to do, I was extremely disappointed. The story I thought was good at first, but it just immediatly broke up after Broker. Way too many characters with not enough time to develop them getting thrown in and thrown out, I didn't like doing random tasks for random mobsters, I just didn't feel compelled to continue with it, and the missions lacked variety. It does get a gold star for having Heaven and Hell, One Vision, and O Tebe in the soundtrack, though.

Far Cry 2- I actually do like this game a bit, but my god, compared to what was promised, so little was delivered. This was supposed to be a tactical game, where the sandbox gave you the tools you needed to get past each mission, but it's just a run and gun shooter with pulling bullets out of you with pliers to heal yourself added in for "grit" and "realism". The Mercenary Friends system was just poorly implemented (how do they save my life after I die by jumping off a cliff?), all the optional missions were stupidly simple (Arms dealers that just drive in circles waiting for you to destroy their trucks? Assassination targets that sit still in gazebos waiting for you to snipe them?), none of the characters had any motivation whatsoever besides The Jackal, there is just so much lame here.

Super Mario Galaxy- I tried to like this one. I really did. The level design was insanely creative. The visuals were the best on the Wii. The basic concept is just pure whimsy. But the game is just so stupidly easy, lacking in even the slightest bit of challenge to make me feel accomplished at beating a level. It's a good game which has it's moments, but I was expecting so much more.

Fable 2- Wow, this somehow got even shallower than Fable 1. The combat doesn't even require you use flourishes anymore, just mash melee, the spells are stupidly overpowered, you gain money and fame even faster than in Fable, You Can't Freaking DIE, how did half of this stuff possibly happen without somebody saying in the dev team saying "Hey, where did we put the challenge in this game?"

But definitely the biggest disappointment this gen, the only one of these which I actually thought was a legitamately BAD game...

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty- This had such a cool concept, and so much potential for cool setpieces and creative battle scenarios, the early stuff shown of it was so cool, but the game just sucked so much...

lack of onimusha and ssx.

Assassin's Creed was a big one, I hope the second lives up to what the first should've been.

Oblivion

Fallout 3

Mass Effect

Jade Empire

all I can think of the moment

Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It goes to show you that changing an Award-Winning Formula can't always be good.

Halo 3 by far.
Dull single player campaign and probably one of the worst storylines ever (well for most part it's non-existant).

Dawn of War II. Nothing compared to the god like DOW I.aaronmullan

Amen to that, it was such a disappointment I was expecting so much more.

It's like a different studio did it and no one told them to look at the good points of the original and make them better. Instead they made something that could be called mediocre at best and dull at worst.

Team Fortress 2, and it's horrible imbalances plus the addition of crits, and unlockables......

PSP for not being worth the $250 I paid for it launch.

Half Life 2 Ep. 3 for not existing yet.

PS3 not shipping with the banana controller.

Alone in the Dark and Farcry2. I could say Halo Wars but imo the only desapointment about it was its score on gamespot.
